Equivalence partitioning
Correct Answer
D. Equivalence partitioningExplanation
Equivalence partitioning is a technique that can be used to achieve input and output coverage. It involves dividing the input data into groups or partitions that are expected to exhibit similar behavior. By selecting representative test cases from each partition, it is possible to test the system's response to different inputs without exhaustively testing every possible combination. This technique is applicable to various types of input, including human input, input via interfaces, and interface parameters in integration testing.Rate this question:

One of the more daunting challenges of managing a test project is that so many dependenciesconverge at test execution. One missing configuration file or hard ware device can render all your testresults meaning less. You can end up with an entire platoon of testers sitting around for days.Who is responsible for this incident?
- A.
Test managers faults only
- B.
Test lead faults only
- C.
Test manager and project manager faults
- D.
Testers faults only
Correct Answer
A. Test managers faults onlyExplanation
The correct answer is "Test managers faults only." This is because the question states that one of the challenges of managing a test project is that many dependencies converge at test execution. If there is a missing configuration file or hardware device, it can render all test results meaningless. Since the test manager is responsible for managing the test project, they should be held accountable for ensuring that all necessary configurations and hardware devices are in place for successful test execution.Rate this question:
